The Tomorrow War release date: Trailer, cast and news for the new Chris Pratt movie
Chris Pratt is venturing beyond the MCU as the lead in an all-new sci-fi blockbuster.
As the star of Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World and the Avengers films, Chris Pratt is no stranger to blockbuster action franchises.
Now he's adding one more to the list, with Amazon Prime's time-travelling sci-fi epic The Tomorrow War, which sees humanity losing a war against invading aliens in 2051 and resorting to recruiting soldiers from the past in order to prevent extinction.
It's certainly an intriguing premise - and a new trailer makes the most of the apocalyptic future setting, complete with destroyed cities, countless explosions and huge swarms of alien enemies, along with some of Pratt's trademark humour.
However, the journey to the screen has been just as eventful as the film itself, with Paramount scrapping theatrical release plans due to COVID-19 and selling the distribution rights to Amazon Prime for a whopping $200 million.
So prepare for one of the biggest-budget films to hit streaming this summer - here's everything you need to know about The Tomorrow War.
